[#0000ff]Are the planers really worth learning?[/#0000ff]
NO ... I absolutely HATE planers. They are a royal pain in the but. The only upside to them is that they catch double the fish. I almost ALWAYS run planers when trolling for wipers because I consistantly catch twice as many fish on a planer than I do straight back. But they are still a pain. So, if you are just out to enjoy the day on the lake, forget the planers. If, however, you are serious about boating fish, rig-um-up.
